Corewell Health Trenton and Dearborn Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a community-based, dual-site emergency medicine residency operating across two Corewell Health hospitals in southeast Michigan—Trenton (193-bed, downriver community hospital, MSU-COM affiliated) and Dearborn (632-bed teaching hospital with Primary Stroke Center accreditation, a Wayne State University clinical campus)—both Level II trauma centers. The program emphasizes clinical training with significant early management responsibility and draws on a large faculty base of 72 board-certified emergency physicians offering varied clinical perspectives rather than a narrow subspecialty focus. There is no evidence of a formal research mandate, named fellowship pathways, or academic scholarly tracks; the identity centers on hands-on community and regional trauma care preparing graduates for board-eligible general emergency medicine practice. The program appears to value residents who thrive in a service-oriented, community hospital environment with hands-on clinical exposure across two distinct patient populations.
